Pamela Feld, 2620 Walnut Avenue, Units A and S, Tustin, stated her business is in the suites adjacent to the applicant; indicated that the applicant's unit should be changed to Unit C; stated that her offices share the common wall with the applicant; indicated her concerns regarding potential noise that may be created by the applicant's customers testing the various pianos; stated she had the leasing company install a sound wall; and, added she felt it was important to attend the public hearing to voice her concerns. The Zoning Administrator stated that music instruction is prohibited on-site; asked the applicant to explain the operations anticipated at the site to provide clarification for Ms. Feld; and, added that the conditions could be modified to address the concerns stated by Ms. Feld. The applicant verified that her space is Unit C; and, stated that customers would only be testing the pianos for short periods of time. The Zoning Administrator indicated that she was sensitive to Ms. Feld's concerns. Karen Peterson stated that Chad Ortlieb had prepared new language for the Administrator's consideration. Chad Ortlieb noted the conditions can be amended to: 1) include the applicant's compliance with the City's noise ordinance; and, 2) if noise becomes a problem, require the applicant have a noise study conducted identifying the type and pitch of noise and, if necessary, provide mitigation recommendations. Staff could then request that the applicant implement mitigation of the noise problem. The Zoning Administrator asked how often staff could review the situation; and, noted there is standard language that has been included in conditional use permits allowing for a six-month or annual review. Mr. Ortlieb indicated this could be a complaint-based request or left as a function of a review period. The Zoning Administrator asked that the conditions be amended to include the review period; and, requested a condition be included that requires the applicant's doors to remain closed during business hours. The resolution and staff report should also be amended to correct the unit to "C." The Public Hearing closed.
